Weekly Meal Plan: October 12 – 18th

Woot! In just a couple of hours Mama H will be on her way! We have had quite the exciting October so far (I totally need to write a post about it) and it isn’t even close to over. Mama H comes and then my dad will be meeting her up her at the end of the week. They’ll stay for about a week and then just after they come home, Ben’s grandmother will come to spend 2 weeks with us. We heart visitors so we’re pretty excited about this!

October is a gorgeous month here in MA and there are lots of fun things that we get to explore for the first time with everyone. And it’s a great produce month too. Lots of fresh food still to be harvested!

Cabbage just speaks vegetable soup to me these days. And I am going to go ahead and say it…this is the best vegetable soup you will ever put in your mouth. It will take your standard for vegetable soups to a whole new level. Just try it!

I’m gonna go out on a limb and try a new chili recipe {gasp}! My family is SO used to the one I always make but I am not too fond of it because of the canned chili beans that it uses. I’d like to try this recipe to see if I can morph some of the flavors and add a pinch of this and a pinch of that to make it our own. We’ll see!
